Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
408 PM CDT Wed Oct 10 2018

.SHORT TERM...
The first autumn cold front of the season moved across the region
today with lgt nw winds and clearing skies. Temps will fall
quickly tonight with overnight lows mainly falling into the 50s. 
Daytime highs will range mainly from around 70 north to upper 70s
south with sunny skies and n-ne winds around 10 mph. Overnight
lows falling into 50s again with upper 40s possible north of I-30 
under good radiational cooling conditions. 


.LONG TERM...
/Friday Morning through Tuesday Night/

An upper-trough across the Plains will allow for sufficient 
instability to generate showers across the I-30 corridor on Friday. 
Cool surface high pressure in place will allow for afternoon high 
temperatures to range from the mid 60s across the Ozarks to the 
upper 70s across the lakes region of deep east Texas. Overnight low 
temperatures on Friday night to drop into the mid to upper 50s. 

On Saturday, the remnants of Hurricane Sergio from the Eastern 
Pacific will move across the Red River valley. Surface low combined 
with weak upper-trough will allow for widespread showers with 
isolated thunderstorms across southeast Oklahoma, southwest 
Arkansas, and northeast Texas. Surface low will combine with a cold 
front, which will extend precipitation into the I-20 corridor and 
areas southward on Saturday night into Sunday.  Model disagreement 
concerning the timing and precip coverage from Sunday into Monday 
introduces uncertainty into the forecast. For this forecast went 
with scattered pops through Monday, mainly from weak post-frontal 
forcing combined with a longwave upper-trough.  High pressure 
rebuilding behind the front will allow for cool and dry conditions 
on Tuesday and Wednesday.
